The Derelict is a 2015 horror film starring Joel Suraci. The movie is a classic ghost story that centers around a group of urban explorers who decide to investigate an abandoned, derelict hospital in search of a rumored secret in the basement. The film takes place in the fictional Clearwater County, where the abandoned hospital called St. Adrian's has become a local urban legend of sorts. According to the legend, the hospital was involved in some shady dealings and as a result, was abandoned. The locals have it that ghosts and supernatural entities wander the halls of the derelict hospital, making it a place of fear for the townspeople.

The protagonist of the movie is a young urban explorer named Ethan (Joel Suraci) who hears about the hospital and becomes fascinated by it. Ethan convinces his friends to join him on a mission to explore the hospital and film their experiences for their YouTube channel. The group of explorers includes Ethan's girlfriend Jessica (Viviana Chavez), his best friend Nick (Mike Mulderrig), Nick's girlfriend Maria (Samantha Moorhouse), and their close friend Jeremy (Timothy Hays). Together, they enter the hospital in search of what lies beneath the abandoned building's walls.

Upon arriving at St. Adrian's, the group of explorers finds that the hospital is in a state of disrepair and is quite dangerous. As they navigate the hospital's dark and decrepit corridors, they begin to experience strange and unexplainable phenomena. They hear strange noises, see apparitions, and begin to feel as if they are being watched by a malevolent force. The group soon realizes that they are not alone in the hospital and that whatever is haunting St. Adrian's wants them dead.

As the night progresses, the group of explorers becomes more and more afraid. They realize that they need to leave the hospital as soon as possible, but they can't find the way out. As they try to escape, they encounter terrifying ghosts and supernatural entities, each one more dangerous and terrifying than the last. As the explorers fight to stay alive, they slowly unravel the mystery behind the urban legend of St. Adrian's and the evil that lurks within its walls.

The Derelict is a classic horror movie that pays homage to the classic ghost stories of the past. The film creates a chilling atmosphere that keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat throughout. The film's visuals are impressive, with the abandoned hospital creating a sense of dread and claustrophobia. The actors all deliver impressive performances, creating a sense of realism that makes the viewer feel as if they are part of the group of explorers.

The film's soundtrack also deserves a special mention. The ominous music creates a sense of tension that slowly builds as the movie progresses, effectively reinforcing the sense of dread that permeates every scene. The sound design, too, is fantastic, with every scream and every footstep resonating through the audience's bones.

Overall, The Derelict is an impressive horror film that should satisfy fans of the genre.
